Fluor, JGC win design work for Mozambique LNG

The FEED work will deliver designs for the initial phase of the Mozambique LNG project of four trains, each train capable of producing 5 million tpy of liquefied natural gas (20 million tpy total). The project has the potential to expand its capacity up to approximately 50 million tpy of LNG in the future.

A 50-50 joint venture comprised of Fluor and JGC Corp. was
awarded Tuesday with a front-end engineering and design (FEED)
contract by Anadarko Moçambique Area 1 Limitada for an
onshore natural gas liquefaction facility in the Republic of
Mozambique.

The project will be located in the Cabo Delgado Province, 2,000
kilometers northeast of Mozambique's capital, Maputo.

Fluor said it will book its portion of the contract in
the first quarter of 2013.

The FEED work will deliver designs for the initial phase of the
Mozambique LNG project of four trains, each train capable of
producing 5 million tpy of liquefied natural gas
(20 million tpy total).

The project has the potential to expand
its capacity up to approximately 50 million tpy of
LNG in the future.

This facility is the first LNG project in Mozambique. The feedstock comes from offshore
production facilities at Offshore Area 1,
operated by Anadarko, and Offshore Area 4, operated by Eni.
The first LNG cargo is targeted for 2018.

"In the region, this is an important and strategic win for both
joint venture parent companies," said Peter Oosterveer,
president of Fluor's energy and chemicals group.

"We brought together a talented and experienced team that
leverages the combined strengths of JGC's industry-leading LNG
experience with Fluor's 50-plus year reputation for executing
large complex projects in sub-Saharan Africa."
